Dimple pattern on golf ball

Abstract

Disclosed is a dimple pattern on a golf ball, which consists of a plurality of dimples of various sizes for providing an optimum impact at the moment of hitting the golf ball. The dimple pattern formed on a circumferential surface of a golf ball has a total of 1070 dimples, including first dimples with a diameter of 3.8 mm, second dimples with a diameter of 3.2 mm, third dimples with a diameter of 2.4 mm, and fourth dimples with a diameter of 0.9 mm, wherein the number of the first dimples is 414, and the total number of the second to fourth dimples is 656. As the dimples of various sizes are repeatedly arranged with predetermined spaces, impact pressure is uniformly transferred to the golf ball over an entire contact area with a club face at the moment a golf club impacts on the golf ball, thereby removing the hook and slice, so that the straightness and stability of the golf ball while the golf ball is flying can be improved and the flight distance of the golf ball can be increased.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention relates to a dimple pattern on a golf ball, and in particular to a dimple pattern on a golf ball, which consists of a plurality of dimples of various sizes, wherein the dimples with different diameters are alternately or repeatedly arranged over the entire area of the circumferential surface of the golf ball with predetermined spaces, so that when the golf ball is hit by a golf club, impact pressure is transferred to the golf ball over a contact area with the club face at the moment the club face impacts on the golf ball, thereby providing an optimum impact and removing hook and slice at the time of hitting the golf ball, which can result in improved straightness and stability for the golf ball while the golf ball is flying, thereby increasing the flight distance of the golf ball. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] In general, while a golf ball is flying, the golf ball subjects to frictional resistance in its front side and shape r...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

"The present invention provides a dimple pattern on a golf ball that has a plurality of dimples of various sizes. The dimples are arranged in a pattern that results in an optimal impact when hitting the golf ball, and a uniform distribution of impact pressure over the entire contact area on the ball. This results in improved straightness and stability of the golf ball, and increased flight distance. The dimple pattern includes a first directional arrangement of dimples, a second directional arrangement of dimples, and a third directional arrangement of dimples. The pattern also includes eighth and ninth rows of dimples, which are alternately arranged in a second direction. The diameter of the dimples ranges from 3.8 mm to 0.9 mm. The invention provides a more effective and uniform dimple pattern on a golf ball that can improve its performance."

Problems solved by technology

However, the conventional dimpled golf ball has a wide contact area, which will come into contact with the club face of a golf club 2, the contact area being formed between the dimples; due to the arrangement of the dimples, impact pressure is not uniformly to the golf ball over the entire contact surface on the golf ball with the club face at the moment the club face impacts on the golf ball.

As a result, the impact angle is varied each time the golf ball is hit by the golf club, whereby it is very difficult to accurately hit such a golf ball.

In addition, the above-mentioned conventional dimpled golf ball has a disadvantage in that it cannot fly so far, because when it is hit by a golf club, it subjects to not only a high frictional resistance, which occurs due to air running against the front side thereof, but also a relatively high shape resistance, which occurs behind it, while it is flying.
